Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on May 05, 1971)

Happy Birthday to the legendary John Owen-Jones! You've spent so much time behind masks and barricades, we're amazed you still remember your real name. From haunting audiences as the longest-serving Phantom to stealing hearts (and bread) as Jean Valjean in Les Misérables' unforgettable 25th Anniversary Tour, you've truly mastered the art of making us cry—and we love you for it.

May your birthday be filled with laughter, applause, and absolutely no chandeliers crashing down. Here's hoping this year brings even more standing ovations and fewer angry inspectors chasing after stolen loaves. Cheers to another spectacular act ahead!
